Section

Lists

  • To add bullet points to a slide, use the Markdown list syntax.
  • Works the same way with numbered lists. For example:
- Item 1
    - Item 1.1
    - Item 1.2
- Item 2
- Item 3

Incremental list

  • By default the lists are not incremental.
  • Add the {.incremental} class, so each bullet will appear separately.
::: {.incremental}
- Item 1
- Item 2
:::
  • This is the 1st incremental bullet.
  • And here the 2nd.

Incremental content

  • Use . . . to separate content and turn it incremental.
  • Any content can be incremental. For example:
This will appear first

. . .

And then that!

UNHCR helpers

Text

  • Use {.text-blue} to apply UNHCR blue color
  • Use {.text-grey} for lighter text color

Background

  • Use {.bg-blue} for light blue background
  • Use {.bg-grey} for light grey background

Columns

  • To create columns, use a div container with class {.columns}, containing two or more div containers with class {.column} and a width attribute. For example:
:::: {.columns}

::: {.column width="40%"}
Left column
:::

::: {.column width="60%"}
Right column
:::

::::

Images

  • To insert an image, use the Markdown image syntax. For example:
![](path/to/image.jpg)

Code

  • To include code, use fenced code blocks with a language specifier.
  • By default the echo parameter of code block is set to false, turn it to true to see the code and the result.
\```{r}
#| echo: true
#| warning: false
#| remotes::install_github("vidonne/unhcrthemes")
library(tidyverse)
library(unhcrthemes)
\```

Plots

  • Use the {unhcrthemes} package to produce UNHCR branded plots directly in the presentation. For example:

Tables

  • Use knitr::kable() function for simple table. For example:
knitr::kable(head(idp_total)) 
year idp
2010 10.32914
2011 11.62813
2012 10.76541
2013 13.48312
2014 16.31171
2015 10.89438

More tables

  • Many packages can help you stylize tables, like {gt}, {dt} and more.
  • Use them to customize further the table design in your presentations.
gt::gt(head(idp_total)) 
year idp
2010 10.32914
2011 11.62813
2012 10.76541
2013 13.48312
2014 16.31171
2015 10.89438

  • You can add speaker notes to your slides that are only visible to the presenter during the presentation.
  • To add speaker notes, use the following syntax:
## Slide with speaker notes
